After reading the first chapter, I wanted to learn more about Morris' escape rather than the historical account of Alcatraz, especially because we had already read several texts about the history of Alcatraz. As Mildred said, when the text flipped back to discussing Morris' escape, it was a little difficult to pick up again. I think that Bruce should have avoided switching styles to be more effective, and eliminating some of the historical account and focusing more on Morris' escape would have made this book a little bit better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07711507287966796057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475751676630326068.post-54248158659907222722010-10-03T17:47:07.073-07:002010-10-03T17:47:07.073-07:00I agree with most of what you said.

He had built up a story and made it exciting and then all of the sudden he moved onto a historical account of Alcatraz. This frustrated me since I really wanted to know what was going to happen with Frank Lee Morris. However, when he did return to the original topic, I was left a little confused. I did not understand what he was trying to achieve by switching styles and subject matter. It definitely made the book incongruous and harder to follow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141112574648520821noreply@blogger.com
